    Selling on Etsy you are going to be competing with a lot of people selling more or less the same stuff, unless you have something truly unique. Not spent enough time on Etsy to really understand how their system works and how to get items listed above other similar items. Some people seem to have success on Instagram, but like I mentioned earlier you have to take it all with a pinch of salt. Undoubtedly people are influenced by what they see on social media sites and do end up buying, but bottom line is people aren't strictly on there to shop. For the time being Google is where its at for us as far as conversion rates go.

    The problem is theres so many people that do it which makes it a very competetive marketplace to advertise in. We had similar with the partners business. One of the products she makes herself is teething necklaces. They are easy to make and anyone can do it. Only thing that seperates us from people selling cheap is that ours have been tested, along with all the components. It took me 4 years of constant work to get us to the top of google for teething necklaces. Problem is now we are there its all we are selling, and the business has grown significantly since then to offer a wider range of products that mostly just sit there 😀

    Also don't be fooled into how much stuff other people are selling. Missus follows a lot of people on Instagram who constantly boast about their sales, going far as to take videos of piles and piles of orders boxed up ready to mail. Another printed off a load of mailing labels and did a video of them trailed out in a long line starting upstairs, going down the staircase, and through the house. Quite pathetic really. A bit of research and you can quickly see that they are not selling anywhere near the amount of things they say they are, you just need to know where to look. Its a sad sad world

    Facebook is horrendous for selling on. Every time I list an item I instantly regret it

    If the shackles rated in theory it should be fine? The old komet harnesses used shackles for the bridge attachment. I’d be looking for a shackle that’s counter sunk and opened with an Allen key, with a nice bit of loctite for good measure

    Avoid sweet chestnut if you have an open fire

    No something doesn’t sound right. I was going to say check the lever isn’t bent as that was one problem I had with mine. But if he’s going through bars a lot then there’s probably something else going in. I assume it’s oiling right

    At what point does it stop cutting? Soon as you cut or near the end of the cut

    Technically yes, how many people from Portugal will actually use it though is another matter

    This one won’t be stopped by anything though
  23. Steve Bullman
    Haven’t been overly ill with it, aside from muscle aches from the constant coughing. Kids have both had fevers though. flipping hope it isn’t 100 days stubby!
  24. Steve Bullman
    Whole family has now been ill for 5 weeks with a relentless cough that won’t quit. Everyone I speak to locally says people round them are dropping like flies. I remember similar happened tail end of 2019 and we all know what happened next. covid-20 coming to a city near you early 2024, you heard it here first!
